Florio Restaurant

You may be skeptical of Italian in Germany, but this is a hidden gem. Elevated cozy atmosphere and high quality food. The seasonal options keep the menu fresh and the service is top notch. Perfect place for a relaxed and delicious meal.

Amazing staff went yesterday to celebrate my sister’s birthday before our flight back to Toronto. The staff was friendly great hospitality will recommend to all family and friends.

First of all, I made dinner reservations for New Year’s Eve at 6:45 but when we got there they told us dinner didn’t start until 7. We went to the bar and had some drinks to wait it out. 30 minutes go by and I realize people are being seated for dinner so I sent my boyfriend to check it out. They told him they were ready for seat us now. We sat down and find out it’s a champagne pairing with a five course meal. We aren’t fans of champagne but decided it would be fine in hopes it complimented the food well. The five course meal was severely underwhelming. The flavors left a lot to be desired and for the €555 euro price tag I expected to be WOWed. I would have liked for someone to mention it was a five course meal and champagne pairing when I made the reservation. If you’re going to charge Michelin star prices then I expect Michelin star level food and service. I would not recommend anyone to go here even if the prices were just €55! If I’m spending over €1k for dinner it better be one of the best experiences of my life and honestly I can say it was mediocre at best.

Beautiful restaurant - unfortunately we could not enjoy the main room and had to stay at the bar. There was a misunderstanding in our reservation - we thought we booked a table for 8pm, but they told us we did it for 8am. Why would anyone make a breakfast reservation is a mystery for me. Since the confirmation system didn't add am or pm after "8:00", we didn't pay attention to it. EU uses 20:00 for 8:00 pm, and we were not aware. They were able to accommodate us at the bar but since it was a special celebration night, we were a bit disappointed. Service was very friendly and the food was good for bar fare. It took about 45 min to get our meals ready, though. Busy night, and it looked like they prioritized the guests at the restaurant Vs at the bar. Very detailed allergen information on the menu, which is great. They could add more dairy free / vegan options.

Sophia’s Restaurant & Bar has been my little pit stop for lunch the 2 times I have been in Munich. Munich can be pretty cold but I always feel the warmth from the staff when I’m in their establishment. Service was excellent as expected and because I was a lone diner, the attentive servers would come check up on me. I had the 2-course lunch menu which for me was just the right amount of food coupled with 2 glasses of wine and a coffee with a variety of delicious chocolates to end off the meal. The burrata with the charred chicoree was well balanced while the chicken “dumpling” dish was like comfort food for the cold, grey day. I would have personally preferred more proteins within both dishes but it was reasonable for what was offered. Some restaurants may not be creating mind blowing, out of this world dishes but rather, they exist to uphold and sometimes elevate the classics. Sophia’s to me has always been about the “hug” that its food brings me and I thoroughly enjoyed going back there.

Sophia's restaurant, located inside Charles Hotel, offers modern Italian cuisine with fresh ingredients. The ambience here is unparalleled with plenty of greenery, natural lighting and high ceiling. Infact, the restaurant overlooks the Old Botanical Garden in Munich. We called for the Galleto Ripieno (chicken breast), Polpo Alla Griglia (Grilled Octopus), Fiori Di Zucca Ripieni (filled zucchini flowers) and a Tagliolini. The food was delicious (except for the small portions!). The service was extremely friendly and quick. They also offer a fantastic breakfast menu. Overall, an enjoyable experience for lunch on Sunday.

Good place for business lunch or dinner in a rather formal atmosphere. High ceilings and nice interior. Well organized as you would expect. Food is good but I would not rate the value for price as good. 50 Euro for a main course at lunch time which is OK but not much more seems a bit outrageous even for Munich. Still, if you do not care, it is a good place to take customers or business visitors.

Amazing cocktails ! Specially the espresso martini with a twist just ask for it to Sally and Max. We are definitely coming back again and again. Next time we are going to try also the restaurant that’s has an amazing chill ambiance and a view of the gardens.
